'Nothing Has Changed': Another Witness Tells GOP She Saw No Corruption By Joe Biden
HuffPost
Karen Tramontano said she knew of no financial arrangements between Joe and Hunter Biden related to Hunter’s work.
WASHINGTON ― The head of a Democratic lobby shop that represented a Ukrainian energy firm told lawmakers on Monday she was unaware of any involvement by President Joe Biden in his son Hunter’s business deals.
Republicans sought a transcribed interview with Karen Tramontano, CEO of Blue Star Strategies, as part of their impeachment inquiry against Biden. Their chief accusation is that the Ukrainian gas company Burisma bribed Biden for a favor back when he was vice president during the Obama administration.
“Neither Hunter Biden nor then Vice President Joe Biden had any financial or other involvement in my firm’s work with Burisma,” Tramontano told lawmakers, according to an opening statement obtained by HuffPost.
“I am also not aware of any financial arrangements or compensation to then Vice President Biden related to his son’s business dealings with Burisma or otherwise,” Tramontano said.
Tramontano is the latest in a series of witnesses to tell lawmakers they knew of no corruption by the Bidens and hadn’t seen the president get involved in his son’s work. Republicans have struggled to substantiate their bribery allegations, and it’s unclear if they will ever muster enough support for an actual impeachment vote.
